< Micah 4 >
1 And it has come to pass, In the latter end of the days, The mountain of the house of YHWH Is established above the top of the mountains, And it has been lifted up above the hills, And flowed to it have peoples.
末后的日子, 耶和华殿的山必坚立, 超乎诸山,高举过于万岭; 万民都要流归这山。
2 And gone have many nations and said, “Come and we go up to the mountain of YHWH, And to the house of the God of Jacob, And He teaches us of His ways, And we walk in His paths,” For a law goes forth from Zion, And a word of YHWH from Jerusalem.
必有许多国的民前往,说: 来吧,我们登耶和华的山, 奔雅各 神的殿。 主必将他的道教训我们; 我们也要行他的路。 因为训诲必出于锡安; 耶和华的言语必出于耶路撒冷。
3 And He has judged between many peoples, And given a decision to mighty nations far off, They have beaten their swords to plowshares, And their spears to pruning-hooks, Nation does not lift up sword to nation, Nor do they learn war anymore.
他必在多国的民中施行审判, 为远方强盛的国断定是非。 他们要将刀打成犁头, 把枪打成镰刀。 这国不举刀攻击那国; 他们也不再学习战事。
4 And they have sat each under his vine, And under his fig tree, And there is none troubling, For the mouth of YHWH of Hosts has spoken.
人人都要坐在自己葡萄树下 和无花果树下,无人惊吓。 这是万军之耶和华亲口说的。
5 For all the peoples walk, Each in the name of its god—and we, We walk in the Name of our God YHWH, For all time and forever.
万民各奉己神的名而行; 我们却永永远远奉耶和华—我们 神的名而行。
6 “In that day,” a declaration of YHWH, “I gather the halting one, And the driven away one I bring together, And she whom I have afflicted.
耶和华说:到那日, 我必聚集瘸腿的, 招聚被赶出的和我所惩治的。
7 And I have set the halting for a remnant, And the far-off for a mighty nation, And YHWH has reigned over them in Mount Zion, From now on, and for all time.
我必使瘸腿的为余剩之民, 使赶到远方的为强盛之民。 耶和华要在锡安山作王治理他们, 从今直到永远。
8 And you, O Tower of Eder, Fort of the daughter of Zion, to you it comes, Indeed, the former rule has come in, The kingdom to the daughter of Jerusalem.”
你这羊群的高台、锡安城的山哪, 从前的权柄— 就是耶路撒冷民的国权— 必归与你。
9 Now why do you shout aloud? Is there no king in you? Has your counselor perished, That pain as of a travailing woman has taken hold of you?
现在你为何大声哭号呢? 疼痛抓住你仿佛产难的妇人, 是因你中间没有君王吗? 你的谋士灭亡了吗?
10 Be pained, and bring forth, O daughter of Zion, As a travailing woman, For now you go forth from the city, And you have dwelt in the field, And you have gone to Babylon, There you are delivered, There YHWH redeems you from the hand of your enemies.
锡安的民哪, 你要疼痛劬劳,仿佛产难的妇人; 因为你必从城里出来, 住在田野,到巴比伦去。 在那里要蒙解救; 在那里耶和华必救赎你脱离仇敌的手。
11 And now, many nations have gathered against you, who are saying: “Let her be defiled, and our eyes look on Zion.”
现在有许多国的民聚集攻击你,说: 愿锡安被玷污! 愿我们亲眼见她遭报!
12 They have not known the thoughts of YHWH, Nor have they understood His counsel, For He has gathered them as a sheaf [into] a threshing-floor.
他们却不知道耶和华的意念, 也不明白他的筹划。 他聚集他们,好像把禾捆聚到禾场一样。
13 Arise, and thresh, O daughter of Zion, For I make your horn iron, And I make your hooves bronze, And you have beaten small many peoples, And I have devoted to YHWH their gain, And their wealth to the Lord of the whole earth!
锡安的民哪,起来踹谷吧! 我必使你的角成为铁, 使你的蹄成为铜。 你必打碎多国的民, 将他们的财献与耶和华, 将他们的货献与普天下的主。
